Description
The Earth lies in ruins in the aftermath of an extraterrestrial invasion, the land devastated by a desperate war with no winners between mankind and a race of vicious, intelligent creatures. The seas are drying up while the atmosphere corrodes and slowly cooks any life remaining on the now desolate rock. Food is scarce, trust even more so, and the only people left alive all have done horrific things to stay that way.
Among the few survivors is Lucas, an ordinary man hardened by the last few years after the world's end. He's fought off bandits, murderers, and stranded creatures on his long trek across the country in search of his family, the one thing that drives him to outlive his dying planet. What he finds instead is hope, something thought to be lost in the world. There's a ship buried in a crater wall. One of theirs. One that works. To fly it, Lucas must join forces with a traitorous alien scientist and a captured, merciless raider named Asha. But unless they find common ground, all will die, stranded on a ruined Earth.
Combining gritty post-apocalyptic survival and epic space opera, The Last Exodus is the beginning of a new action-packed science fiction adventure where the future of the human race depends on its survivors leaving the past behind.

- bioText: Paul Tassi decided after years of consuming science fiction through a steady diet of books, movies, TV shows, and video games to write his own stories in the genre. He didn't imagine he'd ever actually finish a single book, but now that he's started writing, he doesn't want to stop. He is also the author of the Earthborn Trilogy. Paul writes for Forbes, and his work has also appeared on IGN, the Daily Dot, Unreality, TVOvermind, and more. He lives with his beautiful and supportive wife in Chicago.

The destruction of Earth is a mere sideshow in this well-grounded, grim tale of first contact. The alien Xalan have ravaged the planet for its water, leaving it nearly uninhabitable. Survivors Lucas and Asha ally with Alpha, a stranded Xalan scientist, to escape doomed Earth in an improvised spacecraft. Alpha, who’s accused of betraying the Xalan, attempts to unite his passengers with the Xalan’s enemies, the surprisingly human-like Soran, but a genetically modified Xalan supersoldier, Omicron, is hot on their trail and takes a personal interest in Alpha’s capture. Debut novelist Tassi gifts his characters with solid motivations and understandable responses to the postapocalyptic setting that invoke a measure of the reader’s sympathy for cannibal chieftains and alien nemeses alike. Some of the themes are well-worn, but Tassi fills in the gaps between action sequences with paeans to reassuring virtues such as hope and trust.
